Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for periodic data collection for LCM functions and LCM signaling to allow UE to perform model-based and/or functionality-based LCM. One method may include a UE transmitting, to a network entity, at least one discontinuous reception, DRX, and life cycle management, LCM, monitoring configuration signaling request; receiving, in response to the at least one DRX and LCM monitoring configuration signaling request, at least one DRX and LCM monitoring configuration signaling response from the network entity; prioritizing, based on the at least one DRX and LCM monitoring configuration signaling response, at least one of a DRX functionality or a machine learning functionality; transmitting, to the network entity, a DRX and LCM monitoring action request, wherein the action request comprises a condition verification outcome report; and receiving a DRX and LCM monitoring action acknowledgement from the network entity.
